William Dorrit, imprisoned as a debtor, has been a resident of Marshalsea debtors' prison for so long that his three children - snobbish Fanny, idle Edward and Amy (known as Little Dorrit) - have all grown up there, and Amy was born there. Their mother is dead and Little Dorrit, devoted to her father, supports them both through her sewing. | Little Dorrit by Charles Dickens, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
